Blueberry Corn Muffins

These muffins are almost too pretty to eat. I used a muffin pan that makes 6 large muffins so they would look more dramatic. Serve warm soon after removing from the oven, or serve split and broiled with maple syrup for breakfast.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or line with baking cups, set aside.

Combine the cornmeal through the salt, whisking to blend. Make a well in the center. Whisk to gether the rice milk through the canola oil. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until moistened. Fold in the blueberries.

Fill muffin cups 3/4 full. Bake about 15 - 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

About the recipes

All the recipes on my blog are free of gluten, casein, soy and peanut. I've been baking without gluten and casein since January 2005, and I've been baking without eggs (gluten free and vegan) since June 2010. Many other recipes are corn free, nut free, yeast free and vegan. There's probably a little something for everyone here!

About the other stuff (My Amazing Girls)

Sometimes I write about living with a little girl who has ASD and her fierce and brave younger sister who has ADHD. They've opened my mind and my heart more than I ever could have imagined.

Read all about gluten free flours here, and read about making your own gluten free flour blends here. You can also find information on xanthan gum here and information on the different starch flours here.

About Xanthan Gum and Guar Gum

Want to use guar gum instead of xanthan gum? Use 50% more guar gum than the xanthan gum called for in a recipe. So if a recipe calls for 1 tsp. xanthan gum, use 1 1/2 tsp. guar gum instead. This works great for everything except sandwich bread, in which case double the guar gum and expect your loaf to be flat as guar gum seems to inhibit yeast growth.
